choruses in the ply which will
need those who sing and dance.
"The Junior Girls' Play is a cam-
pus tradition," stated Jean Bots-
ford, general chairman of the play.
"It is up to every woman in the

NOTED ACTRESS
TO APPEAR HERE

Miss

Sylvia Nellis to Play Role
of Polly Peach un.

For twohundred and three years
Polly Peachum has been a popular
character to theatre goers in Eng-
land and America and Friday and
Saturday Ann Arbor is to have the
great privilege of seeing her as por-
trayed by Miss Sylvia Nellis who
created and sings that role in the
Sir Nigel Playfair production cf
"The Beggar's Opera."
Miss Nellis, who has enjoyed a
successful career as English prima
donna of Convent Garden and ra-
dio star presents Polly as a pink
and white ingenue in the grand old
sentimental manner and in the
present tour * of the United States
has won great favor and popular-
ity through her characterization.
Polly is an impulsive creature
w!o falls desperately in love with
a Captain Macheath, highwayman
and gang leader, and much to the
distress of her parents she marries
him: Mr. Peachum, in order to col-
lect the price set on his unwanted
Son-in-law's head, and so that his,
daughter may enjoy the luxury of
widowhood, has him arrested. In-
stead of ending difficulties this act
only brings about new complica-
tions for its is discovered that the
culprit has -another wife. After
many exciting incidents the hus-
band decides to share himself be-
tween the two wives thus making
tie play unique in that it is prob-
ably the only triangle which al-
Jpws all three members happiness.)

Junior Girls' Play
Becomes Tradition
for Campus Women
By Elsie G. Feldman
There is perhaps no other event
on the Michigan campus which -is
as traditional as the Junior Girls'
Play. It is without doubt the climax
of all activity of women from the'
time they enter the university.
Plans for the play begin almost
a year before its presentation with
the election of the general chair-
man and the central committee.
Active work begins in the fall with
the selectioti of the manuscript and
the committee members and finally
the tryouts which are to take place
this week. It is a project of the
junior class in which all junior wo-
men are expected to participate.
In 1908 a small group of junior
women Started the long line of
Junior Girls' Play , by presenting
"Don Quixote, or the Co-ed Knight,"
in Sarah Caswell Angell Hall. Since
that time the play has grown both
in the size of the production and
as a financial project.
Today the money made by the
play goes to the Undergraduate
Campaign Fund of the Women's
League to help pay for the building.
Two years ago "State Street" was
the first of the Junior Girls' Play
to be presented in the Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre, which previous
plays had helped make possible.

study.

"Dr. Erlanson?" I asked a young
woman sitting in an office in the.
Natural Science Building. She nod-
ded assent.
"I understand that you are the
best authority in the world on the
wild roses in North America," I
continued.
"How did you start in this work?"
I queried.
"Dr. C. C. Dean, state forester of
Illinois suggested that no one knew
anything definite about wild roses
in North America. I thought I had
fifty years or so in which to do
something and that this would be
an interesting project, so I started.
That was in 1923," stated Dr. Er-
lanson. "I wrote to rose growers
and collectors everywhere, and took
long collecting tours., I've had
many interesting experiences on
these tours, as any one would, driv-
ing from Cape Cod to Los Angeles,
through Old Mexico, and as far
north as New Pert, Oregon.",
"Now my work consists of cross-
ing hybrid seedlings to determine
the exact results," continued Dr.
Erlanson. "Before this work was
started the classification of wild
roses was a case of guesswork. I
am going to publish a paper on the
present state of rsose classification
in the 1932 American Rose Annual."

Award of Achievement
Jane Addams, "the first citizen of
America" was the unanimous can-
didate for the signal honor be-
stowed in October y the Pictorial
Review magazine for a lifetime
-of achievement.
Jeanette Eaton writes in a recent

story of the winner of the $5,000
achievement award, whose life of
service is a monument to the cause

speech convention at Detroit last

CHAMPION AMERICAN WOMEN READY
TO COMPETE IN OLYMPIC OF 1932

American women for the first
time will next summer compete for
Olympic honors upon native soil.
For the past several years, a new
and well-balanced team has been
recruited from the ranks. This
team will be exceptional for several
reasons, those of youth, talent, andl
the remarkable records which have
already been made by several of the
participants.
Betty Robinson, twenty year old
sprint star, who was discovered
four years ago in the last Olympics
will be a leading contender for hon-
ors in the track and field meets.
Miss Robinson was seriously injured
more than a year ago in an air-
plane smash-up, and for a time it
was believed that she would be un-

able to compete in the coming
games. However, encouragement
comes with the announcement that
she is gradually rounding into form
and that her fractured arm will be
in shape. Bert Reil, former basket-
ball star at Northwestern Univer-
sity where Miss Robinson is a stu-
dent, has perfected a device where-
by the track star will regaing per-
fect use of the injured member.
Stella Walsh, the track flash, who
vied with Miss Robinson in the last
Olympics will again try to break
Miss Robinson's sprint record. An-
other potential Olympic champion
is Babe Didrikson, the Texas school
girl who came north last summer
to break three records in three
days.
